Foundation Communities and Heart House Partner for Family Success



Heart House continues to be grateful for and proud of its partnership with Foundation Communities. Foundation Communities is a nonprofit organization that creates high-quality affordable housing and empowers low-income families and individuals with programs that educate, support, and improve financial standing. Heart House operates its two afterschool centers from within Foundation Communities properties and serves the children of Foundation Communities residents. Foundation Communities provides Heart House with a monthly stipend, which greatly assists Heart House in its mission to offer high-quality afterschool programming. Additionally, Foundation Communities allows Heart House the use of its buildings at no charge and gifts all utility payments and other expenses, such as use of the computer lab, as in-kind, saving Heart House more than $100,000 annually! Additionally, we recently submitted our first joint grant proposal with Foundation Communities to a local foundation, which resulted in significant funding for both programs. We thank Foundation Communities (especially our friends Walter, Julian and Robin) from the bottom of our "heart!"
